Personal Information:
I am 39 years old and a few years ago I lost 35 lbs but slowly the weight was put back on! I hate when my clothes feel to tight... I need to get serious again and live a healthier life style! I work part time and am on my feet all day so I am tired when I get home. My weakest time is eating before going to bed. I know thats my down fall and If I can stop that losing weight will be easier.

Hi Melanthony....I found a post you made on the 1 day challenge page and read your spark page and related to your past Yo Yo Dieting. I am a Sparky from Sydney Australia and I thought you would be a great motivator. I am 83KG currently and my ultimate goal was to get to 65KG as I didn't think it would be possible to get to my "healthy weight" suggested by all the experts as 56kg. But after seeing your progress I am now changing my long term goal to exactly that. I have just started on July 14th and I have lost 900grams, a little disapointing but I must admit I havn't been as focussed on my eating over the weekends. I love to exercise and I am at the gym 5 nights a week for about 1 hour. I am struggling trying to work out a good calorie intake for the day. I have adjusted it down to 1200 - 1350 a day but I just don't seem to see much progress. Could you advise me on what you started you calorie intake at. Any help is greatly appreciated. Sandy :)
